Well I did finish the socks that I made for my friend Alicia, but I have no proof as I had to wipe my hard drive. This makes me really sad because I lost a bunch of pics. I thought I saved everything and was sure I saved my doc folder well it turns out that kodak doesn't save to the my docs folder. They save somewhere else. So everyone make double sure that you have your pics if you have to reformat (or recover in XP).

I love the way this yarn pools. It reminds me of waves in the ocean. One sock is done to the heel gusset and the other is about 2/3 there. And these are going to be short socks so they should go fast from here. YAAY! These are in the same yarn as the last post.

It is so hard to get decent pics of fish.
The whit eone with the orange head and the orange one with a black stripe are goldfish.
The others are mollies. The orange one with the little bit of black on his tail is a sailfin mollie. I have 2 females that are so big they are ready to burst. One is a creamsicle mollie and the other is a dalmation mollie.
I don't think I forgot anybody.


The colors on these are really pale. Pale lavendar and a creamy off white. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with this yet.


This yarn I am going to use for a very pretty skirt. It is as fine as baby yarn.

Well.... I learned alot about felting.

LOL it wasn't all good.



Little did I know that my 11" high bag would felt to 4". It is going to be a cute little basket though.

The bottom shows how pretty this yarn is.

This is the SWTC's new yarn Tofutsies. It is adorable. I was using a size 1 circ needle and came up with this swatch.

I had 9 spi and the colors are bright and beautiful. It reminds me of jellybeans.

The bag that I was making with the Patons SWS has been frogged. It was going to be huge. So I decided to make the French Market Bag that is knit. I love it much more! The colors are coming out great! The outside of the bag is the top photo and the inside is the bottom. I love this yarn the colors are amazing!


WOOO HOOO!!!!!! I am done with my first pair of socks. These are cool but I am ready to get to a real pair of socks.

This is what our weather was doing last week. One more opportunity for my middle son Kaycee to play on the 4 wheeler and plow the snow. The snow is off the streets and the highway is clear.

This is my first sock. It actually ended up being a slipper sock. What a great way to start out in sock knitting. If you notice any mistakes don't tell me. I was down past the gusset and didn't like the way the stitching was coming out, so I ripped the whole thing out and restarted. Right now I am on the heel flap on #2. So I am about there. I'm just hoping I can make them look the same.

I got the cutest sock yarn. Have I actually made socks? I finished one. I am working on the second. I will be starting with one of these when I get done with the first set. Which shouldn't be to long. I am almost ready to start the gusset. Woo Hoo!


I am trying to figure out what brand the top needle is. It has a metal cable and a fine point.

I have been told they are probably antiques, because they don't make them with metal cables now.

Oh well, I was curious as I have found that the knit picks needles are very sharp too.

Thanks for any help on this.
